Sorry the camera was an olympus trip then the AF10. Not the OM1..

Sorry to disappoint but I am quiet happy with a sturdy point & shoot that I can put in a pocket & not worry about. I just can't be arsed with the messing about, I just go for the shot.
The best pre digi camera I had was an olympus OM1 I think it was, 35mm compact, slide over lens cover. Magic.. Now if I could have a digi one of those ..... This little optio fits in the belt pocket of my back pack, so I can get that snap while the OH is still unpacking his. 'proper camera'

Yes I am finding it hard to get any thing with a view finder, the trouble is that a lot of the time the day light is just to bright to see the screen.
Thanks I will have a look at those John.

Hi, newbie here.
I have an Optio S50, which is a hand me down from the OH.
I have been using it for a while & quite like it, but would like a model with a better zoom & a view finder. Any suggestions please ?
